This past Monday morning I came into work and discovered that there had been a life or death struggle in my cubicle. I found a small glue trap which my company had been using for bugs. Instead I found a ring of light and darker fur, several mouse droppings and a semi-circle chewed out of the trap, and also an orange bottle cap. A mouse had been stuck to the trap and chewed its way out. I was told that the company had already discovered the bug traps made good mouse traps as well.

I was relieved the mouse had escaped. I had tried glue traps at one time because the old-fashioned trap didn't work. The mice in my apartment were too smart. The mouse I caught had been stuck by its underbelly in the trap and screamed and screamed. It was the very last time I used a glue trap for mice.
